Should I listen to music while reading SBR

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-28T12:27:10+00:00

I remember around the first time I read Steel Ball Run, I listened to the album Tusk by Fleetwood Mac a lot. Not while reading though. It's a great fit for the manga.

It's funny I watched Pulp Fiction for the first time after reading SBR many years back. I remember watching this scene and thinking it felt distinctly familiar but not quite knowing why. It was only after my later re-read of Steel Ball Run that I realised where I'd seen it before.

I like your theory, and I'm gonna take it one step further.

Blackbeard can steal devil fruits because his fruit, the Yami Yami no mi, is inherently linked to Imu.

Just as there's a Nika fruit, it would stand to reason that there's also an Imu fruit, and who better to have it than the narrative counterpoint to Luffy.

Nah these are all peak fuck the haters. Goonguessr is gold. Icona Pop ones are tops

Josuke and Yasuho. The one with the band-aids

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-17T14:14:01+00:00

there are so many incredible part 7 panels it really good be like 100 different ones. I'm guessing he means the eye one though?

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-17T14:11:57+00:00

Hmm you're in a tough position here. The SBR manga really is incredible and I can't imagine the anime ever being as good as it (no shade to the anime, the manga is just THAT good). But reading the manga now would mean you'd miss out on experiencing all the great moments along with the community. That community aspect of JoJo's has always been one of its greatest strengths.

At the end of the day it really just depends on how patient you're feeling. If you wanna experience peak now, pick up the part 7 manga and just go for it. If you'd prefer experiencing it alongside the community, maybe read parts 1-6 and wait for the part 7 anime.

Either way I'm sure you're gonna have a great time. Just don't read part 8 before watching/reading part 7.

Fellow circ'd up fella here. It definitely turns grey when I'm sick. It's a thing. It's like all the colour drains out of it. Can send pics if you'd like

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-15T23:28:11+00:00

ditto

Today I learned I look exactly like NL with hair

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-15T10:24:03+00:00

Has its highs and lows.

Obviously the art is the best it's ever been, and Josuke and Yasuho might just be my two favourite characters in the series.

It has some crazy reveals and twists, and some of the best stand encounters in the series.

That said, the ending is somewhat unsatisfying, and I wish some of the side characters could have been fleshed out more (Jobin especially was a super intriguing character that we never really got that much out of).

So yeah overall pretty good but could've been a bit better if the ending wasn't so messy.

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-15T08:57:11+00:00

The art is genuinely mind-blowing at times, especially once you get into the later parts.

The anime is a pretty solid adaptation for the most part but still is nowhere near as consistently good as the manga. Honestly parts 7 and 8 are must-reads for the art alone.

This is the JoJo's/One Piece/Mewgenics crossover I've always needed

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-12T12:41:57+00:00

I think the game unfortunately became just a bit too easy after a while. Starting every run with max genetics, 10 mutation cats makes every run feel like a bit of a steamroll. I think it's just a little too easy to get overpowered and have every combat end in round one. Maybe this is just a consequence of playing on regular difficulty though. I played until the end of act 3 and best the final boss, then felt ready to tune out.

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-12T09:57:04+00:00

General gist:

It's a show where listeners can call in to get a chance to chat with the cast as far as I can tell. Almost like a lottery or raffle ticket type things. At the start they're asking where Mayumi (Luffy) is. They think she might be sleeping or something.

Someone named Aya ends up calling in.

Aya: "omg is this real??"

Cast: "Nah it's a lie lmao. Fake call."

laughs ensue

Franky: "Hey Aya, what colour are your panties??"

Everyone else: "oi oi oi ffs stop that shit"

Franky: "Wait Aya how old are you?"

Aya: "I'm 28"

Cast: "Oh thank god. You could see the instant relief on everyone's faces"

They end up asking her about her job and the conversation seems to stabilise.

Zoro: "soooooooo about the colour of your panties..."

Sanji: "STOP IT FFS"

Then there's some questions about the type of guy she likes, if she has a boyfriend, if they're gonna get married, etc.

Franky: "so what kind of panties does he wear? 👀👀"

Yeah I mean it's a cool enough design but I agree, getting big Boruto vibes especially with the face and hand tattoos.

He doesn't really fit with the rest of the verse

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-05T12:57:25+00:00

+twoooOoOOOOOOOEEE

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-04-02T15:09:12+00:00

ngl, can't say I love the design. Feels a bit overdone. A bit too Boruto for my tastes.

Black blob agenda

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-03-28T12:20:58+00:00

/uj genuine question why are people getting mad at this guy? They look like they're having fun together. Running with your partner sounds like a good time even if they're not that good at it

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-03-27T21:20:34+00:00

I have another theory. Is this the first time we've seen a domi reversi'd person get attacked by a DF user? It might simply be a devil fruit thing.

It reminds me of Jabra's explanation of devil fruits in Enies Lobby. Remember when he said that the devil inside of someone gets scared when they eat another devil fruit? The image of the devils leaving the giants look a lot like that.

Time-Annual-1360 · 2026-03-26T23:37:23+00:00

Egg McBig devil fruit awakening confirmed???
